Double-Pass High-Gain Laser Amplifiers, Janet M. Casperson, Frederick G. Moore, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Double-pass laser amplifiers have advantages of compactness and efficiency in the amplification of optical signals, and such amplifiers have been employed in a wide range of optical systems. Work in this area is reviewed briefly, and analytical solutions are obtained for the intensity of the electromagnetic waves in double-pass homogeneously-broadened high-gain laser amplifiers. Expressions are derived relating the output power to the input, including the effects of arbitrary mirror reflectivity and frequency detuning from line center. In the limits of weak saturation and of high reflectivity the results are consistent with earlier studies.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Purpose: The treatment of pediatric dental patients can only be as effective as the degree to which the parent consents to treatment. This study was designed to A) determine the most effective method of communicating a dental procedure to the parent of a pediatric patient and B) determine the impact that various presentation methods would have on a parent's willingness to give informed consent.

Methods: A Pulpotomy procedure was explained to each parent by one of the following methods; 1) written, 2) written and model, 3) verbal or 4) verbal and model.

Results: A statistically significant relationship was shown between …

Measurement Of Residual Stress In Electrodeposited Nickel Films, Gary Richardson

Theses

For nearly as long as people have had the ability to create deposits by electrodeposition it has been known that the deposits are made in a state of internal stress. Throughout the past one hundred years several simple techniques used to measure these stresses have been developed. Unfortunately these methods have several shortcomings in both their formulation and interpretation, and seldom have the results from any of these tests been verified by another method. As electroplating becomes utilized to a greater extent in the high-tech applications of aerospace, optics, and electronics it is becoming ever more crucial to gain the …

Guaranteed Bandwidth Implementation Of Message Passing Interface On Workstation Clusters, Ali Atalay

Theses

Due to their wide availability, networks of workstations (NOW) are an attractive platform for parallel processing. Parallel programming environments such as Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM), and Message Passing Interface (MPI) offer the user a convenient way to express parallel computing and communication for a network of workstations. Currently, a number of MPI implementations are available that offer low (average ) latency and high bandwidth environments to users by utilizing an efficient MPI library specification and high speed networks. In addition to high bandwidth and low average latency requirements, mission critical distributed applications, audio/video communications require a completely different type of …

The Impact Of Globalization And The New Media On The Notion Of World Literature, Ernst Grabovszki

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Ernst Grabovszki discusses in his article, "The Impact of Globalization and the New Media on the Notion of World Literature," aspects of communication and scholarship in the humanities in the context of social processes resulting from globalization and the impact of new media. The author suggests that the process of communication, the processes of creativity, and the study of literature and the changes these areas are now experiencing owing to the impact of globalization and new media should be studied from a systemic and empirical point of view. Further, the article is an exposition of changes we observe with regard …

From Comparative Literature Today Toward Comparative Cultural Studies, Steven Tötösy De Zepetnek

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "From Comparative Literature Today Toward Comparative Cultural Studies" Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek proposes a theoretical approximation of already established and current aspects of the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies. "Comparative cultural studies" is conceived as an approach with three areas of theoretical content: 1) To study literature (text and/or literary system) with and in the context of culture and the discipline of cultural studies; 2) In cultural studies itself to study literature with borrowed elements (theories and methods) from comparative literature; and 3) To study culture and its composite parts and aspects …

Low-Income Fathers’ And Mothers’ Perceptions Of The Father Role: A Qualitative Study In Four Early Head Start Communities, Jean Ann Summers, Helen Raikes, James Butler, Paul Spicer, Barbara Pan, Sarah Shaw, Mark Langager, Carol Mcallister, Monique K. Johnson

Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications

A qualitative inquiry in four Early Head Start Research sites explored the question of how low-income mothers and fathers view the role of fathers in their families. Role perceptions were gathered from a total of 56 parents of infants and toddlers across the four sites, using multiple data collection methods that included focus groups, open-ended interviews, and one case study. The data were analyzed to identify common themes across sites. The participants identified roles that included: providing financial support, “being there,” care giving, outings and play, teaching and discipline, providing love, and protection. Implications of these qualitative findings are discussed …

Tribal Sovereignty And The Intercultural Public Sphere, Michael James

Faculty Journal Articles

While theorists of cultural pluralism have generally supported tribal sovereignty to protect threatened Native cultures, they fail to address adequately cultural conflicts between Native and non-Native communities, especially when tribal sovereignty facilitates illiberal or undemocratic practices. In response, I draw on Jürgen Habermas’ conceptions of dis course and the public sphere to develop a universalist approach to cultural pluralism, called the ‘intercultural public sphere’, which analyzes how cultures can engage in mutual learning and mutual criticism under fair conditions. This framework accommodates cultural diversity within formally universalistic parameters while avoiding four common criticisms of universalist approaches to cultural pluralism. But …

Are Risk Regulators Rational? Evidence From Hazardous Waste Cleanup Decisions, W. Kip Viscusi, James T. Hamilton

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Using original data on the cleanup of 130 hazardous waste sites, we examine the degree Superfund decisions are driven by efficiency concerns, biases in risk perceptions, and political factors. Target risk levels chosen by regulators are largely a function of political variables and risk perception biases. Regulators exhibit biases consistent with anchoring and the availability heuristic, and do not distinguish between current risks to actual residents and potential risks to hypothetically exposed populations. Quantile regressions indicate that political factors affect decisions on the cost per case of cancer averted, especially for the most inefficient cleanup efforts.
